Baked Weiner Casserole

8 hot dogs
1/2 cup packed brown sugar
1 (15-oz) can diced tomato
1 medium sweet onion, diced
Tabasco sauce, as desired
salt as desired
herbs as desired

Line baking pan with as many wieners as you wish to serve. Cover completely with 1/2-inch brown sugar. On top of that, layer 1/2-inch ground onions. Pour canned tomatoes over all, adding seasoning such as Tabasco, salt and herbs.

Put in 250F oven uncovered, and let cook for 5 hours, basting often. Try not to disturb ingredients. Hard to believe, but very good; even company fare.
